  1. Love that Big Sky country :)
  2. Actually the 12th...
  3. Cool stuff from Fireball... Grill for a '78 tow truck and wheels for a flareside 4x4; not sure which year yet
  4. 'I find the television to be very educational; whenever someone turns on the set I go into the other room and read a book' attributed to Groucho Marx
  5. Glad you took your camera ! Gonna be some time til we see mud and green grass...
  6. That idea hit me too, also a possibility with the unibody cab (with modified doors) or a corrected moeb cab.
  7. Better sources like Juan Browne's straight on-the-level analysis are quite valuable.
  8. Picked up an original issue mpc '69 Mach 1 kit pretty reasonable at the local curiosity shop this afternoon. Looks like everything's there, including a few extras I wasn't expecting... A grill, bumper and hood from an amt '68 annual, custom taillight piece from the '67 annual and 4 decent Apache mags Since the '68 GT500 Shelby kit is the last stand of the '67/'68 annual parts, these parts will certainly help with my idea of turning the GT back into a regular '68 fastback. Not sure what I'll do with the mags yet. There's also a pair of 4 spoke wheels there too; maybe Indy car?
  9. World of Wheels car shows are a great thing to see this time of year.
  10. I would imagine beyond the valuable cars lost, there are hobbyists like us suffering the loss of model trains, cars, ships and aircraft painstakingly collected and built over the years too
  11. I'd have to say Model A & B Ford trucks... They are generally priced beyond my means now but I've also been stuck on the bumpside era since I was a kid, now having owned half a dozen and currently looking for another one. This one here is actually Brazillian, where they made them well into the '70s. They still ran 292s in them.

  13. Not like they had days of warning to have some counter-measures ready to go... oh, wait...
  14. Can't mention 'roundabout' without thinking about this...
  15. Since a former link expired, just thought I'd refresh it... needed something to get the toes tappin'
  16. Somewhere, a squirrel fell off someone's roof...
  17. Played a great horse the other day; took seven horses to beat him.
  18. But would you have kept it long enough to see six figures for it?
  19. Our school called it foods & nutrition. To a teenage guy, it was perfect... a roomful of girls and Food ! ... and then you still had mechanics and drafting classes to look forward to
  20. For those interested in doing so, Mr Geary had a solution for those rear quarters...
  21. Beauty is in the eye of the be(er)holder
  22. For want of a nail, a shoe was lost; for want of the horse, the rider was lost; for want of the rider, the battle was lost; for want of the battle, the kingdom was lost... and all from the want of a horseshoe nail.
  23. Batten down the hatches... here it comes again
